I already replied to this in the CPDN and the BOINC forum. The team name is encoded incorrectly in the XML file.


I think the problem is in the way CPDN (or other projects) is (are) exporting stats.

In the XML file are these lines:

Code:

<team>
<id>5624</id>
<type>6</type>
<name>Universit&#239;&#191;&#189;t der Bundeswehr M&#239;&#191;&#189;nchen</name>
....


Notice the HTML codes. When you put the team name in a html file and view it in a browser it translates to the wrong characters seen on BOINCstats.

if you look at the XML from SIMAP, it shows:
Code:

<team>
<id>475</id>
<type>6</type>
<name>Universit&#228;t der Bundeswehr M&#252;nchen</name>


Try that in a browser.

The wrong characters are also seen on other stats sites (or they show '?'. (For example: Netsoft, the stats provider for the BOINC webpage.


Also, when you search (non exact) on 'Bundeswehr' (team search) then you see that different teams are found, some with the wrong characters, some with the correct.

BOINCstats can definitely show the correct characters, the XML is wrong.

This problem must be solved at the source, not at the stats sites.

By now, I replied three times to this and explained what's wrong. The responsible people should pick it up now.

P.S.: Even if there is a way to make the CPND team name show correctly on BOINCstats, the team will never be united in the combined stats because the hash will be different.

I reopened the trac ticket.

For those wondering what this is all about, my reply was to a post with the same text as this post on the CPDN forum.

A patch was issued for the BOINC project server. Teams with name problems will probably need to re-enter their team name at the projects website.
